I assume you're using the binary distribution of GNAT for GNU/Linux
from ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu; it has support for symbolic stack traces.
Most GNU/Linux distributions that include GNAT have this support
disabled.

I think you need to add -g to the compiler switches.  You may combine
it with -O3.

You may also need to link against libaddr2line.a, which comes with
GNAT, as I'm not sure whether or not the linker does it automatically
for you.
